Chapter 173: 171 The past becomes history
Translator: 549690339
Werewolves can generally transform into werewolves, humans, and wolf beasts.
Since werewolves are originally humans, they usually resent transforming into wolf-beast form.
However, in this chaotic battle, turning into a wolf-beast is clearly more convenient for breaking the deadlock.
The powerful dire wolves and their wolf-beast masters used sharp claws and fangs to tear open a gap in the steadily forming human wall of Red Copper Dwarves.
Not only that, their leader – now transformed into a silver giant wolf – Link howled towards the sky.
Then, he looked around, furious lightning arcs brewing around him.
“Roar!”
With an enraged roar, the lightning breath far beyond that of an ordinary blue-headed Chimera erupted from Link’s mouth.
Wherever the violent lightning storm passed, all the Red Copper Dwarves were either sent flying or directly carbonized.
After Link and his werewolf minions wreaked havoc on the defensive line of Red Copper Dwarves blocking the Central Square, they could no longer withstand the pressure.
Little Fatty quickly moved with two premium warhammers provided by the Black Iron Dwarves, like a giant spinning top, he led the well-equipped ogres and quilboars into the enemy formation.
It did not take long for the gap opened by the werewolves to widen even more.
Following them, the other monsters quickly caught up; the newly appointed Dragonborn Lizardman Redscale, led an astonishing number of ordinary monsters to quickly split the battlefield and blocked the Red Copper Dwarves’ retreat.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Elder Barn clenched his teeth in indignation and prepared to lead the Red Copper Dwarves on the high platform to retreat to Tarak’s side.
But just as he was calling on his guards and other dwarves to prepare for evacuation, there was a loud noise, and he felt the ground trembling beneath his feet.
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, an enormous gnoll slowly climbed up from a pile of rubble, dragging its thick saliva behind.
“Feel the wrath of the Silver Dragon Lord!”
Madwolf Warwick laughed madly as he transferred some of his muscle tissue into his lower limbs.
Then, this mentally unstable gnoll left two red trails in the air, almost instantly killing the Red Copper Dwarves on the high platform.
The short but sturdy Red Copper Dwarves were almost all close-combat experts, but they were like lambs to the slaughter before this powerful Dragonborn gnoll, unable to resist.
Seeing his companions being wiped out at an alarming rate, Elder Barn could no longer bear it.
He took off his battle axe from behind him and roared as he charged towards Warwick.
But the next second, the old Red Copper Dwarf with half-white beard looked painfully at his own abdomen.
A huge wolf claw had pierced through his upper body, and the gnoll in front of him was grinning sinisterly.
The surrounding Red Copper Dwarves were also unable to act due to this scene. “Ah, I heard it was you who ordered the killing of the great Silver Dragon Lord’s envoy…”
The gnoll’s head leaned close to Elder Barn’s ear, with sticky saliva dripping onto Barn’s shoulder, corroding the shoulder armor into pitted holes.
“Now, do you regret defying the great Silver Dragon Lord?”
Regret?
Elder Barn struggled to look around, and then the tragic scene of the Red Copper Castle came into his view.
Was it all because of his arrogance and dominance…
Regret? Perhaps, but there was more hatred.
He hated the monsters that destroyed his homeland, but he hated his own incompetence even more.
Elder Barn stared at the vicious and evil Gnoll, spitting a mouthful of blood on his cheek.
“The righteous Red Copper Dwarves will never succumb to you filthy, evil monsters. Even if you defeat us now, our descendants will remember today’s humiliation.
Sooner or later, our descendants will find you and return today’s humiliation and hatred twofold!”
The grizzled Red Copper Dwarf laughed madly before being torn to pieces by the furious Warwick.
In his final moments of life, he prayed to the Dwarf God in his heart, for Tarak and the others who retreated with him, to safely escape to the Mountain Dwarves’ territory.
With the death of Grand Elder Barn, Red Copper Castle could withstand the onslaught of the Soaring Dragon Legion no longer.
Myriads of monsters took control of the main city, which had been built with the thousand years of blood, sweat, and tears of the Red Copper Dwarves. The Red Copper Dwarves who failed to leave will be mercilessly eliminated, turned into food for the monsters.
As for the Red Copper Dwarves who retreated from the Red Copper Castle with Takra, they encountered fatal trouble at the back door.
King of Black Iron Ebik, with his elite Black Iron Dwarf warriors, had waited for this moment for quite some time. He sneered at Tarak, “Kid, I recognize you. Where is Grand Elder Barn?”
Tarak remained silent and slowly reached for the war hammer behind him, as did the other Red Copper Dwarves.
“Don’t want to talk…”
Ebik shook his head, then shouted fiercely, “Then never speak again. Black Iron Dwarves, attack! It’s time to end the thousand-year grudge between us and these red bearded Dwarves!”
The Red Copper Dwarves following Tarak were mostly ordinary people, no match for fully armed elite Black Iron Dwarf warriors.
In an instant, they were slaughtered and routed; their bloody and horrible scene elicited no sympathy from Ebik.
He called his deputy and coldly ordered, “Leave none alive!”
With the death of the last Red Copper Dwarf, Ebik’s icy face finally broke into a smile.
Starting today, Red Copper Castle and all the mines controlled by the Red Copper Dwarves would become the Black Iron Dwarves’ property.
Afterwards, Ebik shouted loudly, “Come! Enter Red Copper Castle with me. Don’t let those idiots in the Soaring Dragon Legion damage any important machinery and documents!”
Indeed, more important than the mines were the ingenious machines and inherited knowledge accumulated over a thousand years by the Red Copper Dwarves.
Especially the Fire Forging Skill passed down from the Red Copper Royal Family’s Hall Clan, once he possessed it, the Black Iron Dwarves would also have the ability to forge legendary items.
Yes, in the past Three Hammer Alliance, each Dwarf power possessed a legendary war hammer, and the one who forged these legendary war hammers was the Red Copper King back then.
The three great Dwarf powers in the Skyreach Mountains each had their own strengths. Red Copper Dwarves excelled at forging equipment, Black Iron Dwarves at creating war machines.
As for the Mountain Dwarves, they possessed the knowledge of enchanting weapons and a well-developed inheritance system for spellcasters.
“The era of the Three Hammer Alliance has long become history. Next up, it will be the time for the Black Iron Dwarves!”
Ebik walked into Red Copper Castle with his eyes shining brightly.
Unlike their two cousins, Black Iron Dwarves had ambition, and to satisfy their ambition, they often resorted to extreme measures..
